Sounds great :-) but take it from me, it don't work as well as diclofenac 100
mr.
That's *the business* where NSAIDS for dysmen are concerned in my humble but
well-experienced-in-this-matter opinion ! ;-)
Taken a few things in my time, but it's diclofenac caps 100mg every month now.
Even dramatically reduces the flow at dose of 100mg (till it wears off ). Just
a good painkiller at 75mg. I have taken 200mg per day (very bad I know) at
times, which is even better of course. :-)
And no reason why ladies can't put 2 tampons in at the same time so long as
they hold onto the strings and don't forget to take them both out after ;-)
